About
The Coo'S Guest House
The Coo'S Guest House occupies a Victorian terrace on Planefield Road, about 300 metres from the Greig Street Bridge. Its nine rooms are arranged over three floors, with a mix of double, twin and family configurations. The interior is simple and homely, with parquet floors, flat-screen TVs and tea and coffee facilities in each room. Rooms are named after regions of Scotland, which adds a local touch.
The property includes a garden and a terrace, plus a courtyard. Breakfast is served on-site and has drawn consistent praise for its range, with yoghurt, treats and sausages mentioned by guests. The guest house is smoke-free, does not accept pets, and offers free parking – a useful perk in a city centre location. Luggage storage, secure bike storage and housekeeping are available. An airport shuttle can be arranged for a fee.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Central yet peaceful — The guest house sits on a residential street, around 300 metres from Greig Street Bridge and within a 5-minute walk of the city centre. Guests repeatedly note the quiet location despite the proximity to shops, restaurants and river walks.
- Free parking on site — Parking in central Inverness can be tight, so having free on-site parking is a genuine advantage. Several reviewers highlight it as a plus, and the hosts have also helped with private parking when needed.
- Well-regarded breakfast — Breakfast is served each morning and earns some of the highest marks in guest feedback. Reviewers describe tasty, generous spreads with yoghurt, treats and sausages, and note there is plenty of choice.
- Attentive, helpful staff — Owner-run and personal, the service here is a recurring highlight. Guests use words like 'excellent', 'very helpful' and 'efficient', and several mention the hosts going out of their way to assist.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Small scale means limited choice — With only nine rooms, the guest house has a cosy character, but availability is naturally limited, and there is no lift or on-site restaurant beyond breakfast. Early booking is advisable for peak periods.
- Check-in window is narrow — Check-in runs from 15:30 to 21:30, which is tighter than many hotels. Late arrivals need to plan ahead, though self-check-in is available and has been described as convenient.
- No pets and no on-site smoking — The guest house does not accept pets and is fully smoke-free. Travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere, or leave pets at home.
- Rooms vary in size and view — Standard double rooms face the street, while family rooms overlook the courtyard. Some guests have found standard rooms on the smaller side, so choosing a higher category may be worth it for more space.

8.1Verified guest“The whole experience was perfect – 10/10. The hotel was nice, and the host was lovely. Staff were constantly very helpful. My room was brand-new and the bathroom was fairly clean. Breakfasts were tasty with yoghurt, treats and sausages. The location was comfortable and decent, just next to the centre, and within walking distance of an 1800s red sandstone castle.”
